GoDaddy insisted on Tuesday that a hack was not the reason their system crashed yesterday, causing thousands of sites to go down for much of the day. Someone claiming to be a member of the hacking group Anonyous claimed that they had orchestrated an attack. But GoDaddy said it was “a series of internal network events that corrupted router data tables.” The company also says there are now systems in place to prevent this from happening again.
